@pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social thank you for being such a housing champion!

Action alert with text "ACTION ALERT!" Tell City Council: "We need an Inner Eastside for All!" with link to webpage https://portlandneighborswelcome.org/ie4a-resolution. The alert has bold colored text, the logo for the Inner Eastside for All campaign, and a graphic holding a loudspeaker.

ACTION ALERT: Support an Inner Eastside for All! We need your written testimony to support a resolution that would speed up the re-legalization of building apartments in Portland's high opportunity and amenity-rich Inner Neighborhoods! portlandneighborswelcome.org/ie4a-resolut...

When I think about Portlanders, I have the same attitude of the Canadians.

lawyer/municipal judge, career army (eventually warrant officer/also who knows, very mysterious guy)

Haha I can’t at all imagine what you trying to look rugged would look like! I feel like you could spin up some rugged seeming copy for a congressional bio from your life story tho 🤔

Wow another nyt moral panic about the brains of the youths?!?!? Groundbreaking! I failed out of my first year of college because of my diagnosed but unmedicated ADHD and started getting good grades for the absolute first time in my life after starting to take adderall!

Monthly Happy Hour Thursday!
Time: Thursday, March 5th, 6pm - 8pm
Place: Migration Brewing (outdoor patio) - 3947 N Williams Ave

Join us for this month's happy hour! This month we are focused on all things single-stair as part of the DREAM Single-Stair Design Competition.

I am supremely impressed by the ability of Revoke group members to resist new information and learn absolutely nothing in service of remaining maximally disruptive and creepy

This is so fucking funny congrats to the legends at @opennewyork.org

They have cactus cooler at the h mart on Belmont?!?!!

Look! You can daylight shit by putting bike racks in. It's not that hard.

I am above the threshold as a single filer, extremely happy to pay the tax, it is also complex and annoying to pay and I honestly think it’s a threat to the program that people who pay it are thoroughly reminded every year that they are doing so.

@drmitchpdx.bsky.social might be the best poster on council but imo @fischer.bsky.social is the finest poster on pdx bsky

This too tho :( bsky.app/profile/fisc...

Extremely extremely delighted to see an Avalos Chair/ Green Vice Chair… LFGGGGGGGGGG

Inshallah

San Diego Mega ADU project allowed by the housing bonus that is literally just a bunch of apartment buildings in a back yard

That guy in a year

!!!!!

I don’t think you were there Matt but @amb.fyi dropped it in a sentence during the panel after the No Place to Grow Old showing (basically no one in the theater knew who P:NW was) and there was an audible ooooooooh from the audience

The Portland deep state gets really mad that someone won a campaign w/ short-form video b/c the old system was designed to exclude regular people thru friction and opacity.

Photo of the set of The Play that Goes Wrong at the armory prior to the show. The set is a mousetrap-like English manor, with the “tech” set up upstage to the left

Saw the play that goes wrong at the armory last night and it was amaaaaaaaaaaazing

100%, people loves “ages, stages and wages” and I think it effectively captures what makes social housing different

Max Dubler, AICP Counterpoint: we should triple the number of homes in the Bay Area so that everyone who wants to move here can do so. Troutski I don't like all this national attention from the Superbowl on the Bay. We don't need more people finding out how great it is here. I liked it better when they all thought it was a shit hole. The rent is too damn h... John J Filson I agree w/Troutski. Until CA can handle population/growth better, it should not try to encourage population growth other that select, desirable demographics expected to benefit the state as a whole. Likewise it should tailor incentives to disperse population growth.

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

you: oh hey the polls are back early what do they say

me: woke's back

you: what?

me: *loading a sten gun and getting in a sherman tank with a pride flag on the side* woke's back

Congrats!!! Glorious exit from the alliterative name club :)

Shoutout to @bradleyclover.com for arranging our special guests!!

urban pdx Portland housing and transportation policy

here's a longer form housing post, with three proposals for housing policy ideas portland could pursue in 2026 to increase housing production: urbanpdx.blog/a-2026-portl...

The math of this protest doesn't add up:
1.We are in a housing crisis.
2.The City Council has little jurisdiction over ICE compared to the DA, AG, or Feds.

Shutting down the Housing Committee achieves ZERO FUCKING progress on immigration while hurting our most vulnerable neighbors.
